Honey highlands is a hard - very hard episode. It contains four somewhat hard - hard levels: 1656, 1662, 1664 and 1666, two very hard levels: 1660 and 1670, and one extremely hard level: 1669. Overall, this episode has the same difficulty as the previous episode, Marzipan Mine.

After the release of this episode, a chocolatecandy frog will be working as a colour bomb (you only have to switch it with a normal candy), instead of making a match with it.

After the release of this episode, if you hit a mystery candy with a colour bomb and the mystery candy releases a special candy, the special candy will set off immediately. It is unknown why the developers chose this to happen.

After the release of this episode, the board to the left which shows the target of each level (e.g. jellies, orders, etc.) was adjusted for the upcoming mixed levels.

This is the first episode to only have three level types since the 100th episode, Delicious Dynasty. The next episode with only three level types is Corny Crossroads.

Also from the release of this episode, Level 105 in Reality was nerfed.

This episode breaks the trend of having at least four level types.

This episode shares its first word with the 89th episode, Honey Hut and later the 176th episode, Honey Heights.

This episode was released one day after the 4th anniversary of Candy Crush Saga.
